PLANS to reopen a car park which was controversially closed by the council earlier this year are being considered by the authority’s planning committee.
Property developer Wayne Hadfield had been utilising an area of land between two railway bridges in Old Mill Lane as a 250-space car park.
He did so for ten months until the council informed him he would have to close because the access onto Old Mill Lane was considered to be potentially dangerous.
Wayne has now made an application for the formation of a car park access from Old Mill Lane onto the land.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
